Full 1911 Polish Job

Just got done doing a full polish job on my custom build Fusion-Caspian 1911. I'm new to polishing and this is only my 4th try at it, other items I've done were a few small parts and a 1911 slide (just the sides) so needless to say this was a much bigger job that I was thinking it was going to be but glad I did it vs. having it coated.

haven't done any Firearms yet, But I have done some very hard to do parts for my hot rod projects! If any of the "cheats" I learned can help I will be happy to share! I use basically just a die grinder and sand paper with a buffing wheel and polish for the final shine!

Very Nice Work!!!
I did a S&W Mod 66 -4'' some time back in the mid 1970s, Never that nice outside but different given the times.
Then everything that slid or made contact inside was stoned to a mirror finish using hard flat rouge stones.
What a difference that made on the trigger and it was only eleven hours start to finish. Like braking glass when it tripped double action and like sliding on ice till it got there.
Single action was like nothing I have shot since.
